Boavista Porto, a long-established team in Portugal, has been relegated to the 5th league due to severe financial problems under the management of Gérard Lopez. Although the team was relegated to the second league on the spot, the lack of the necessary paperwork led to their exclusion from professional football. The club, founded in 1909 and with a record of five Portuguese Cups, faces transfer bans and unpaid debts, including utility bills. Gérard Lopez, who also owns the Bordeaux club, has suffered a similar fate due to financial difficulties.
